New York Tribune.
Il. r. II. All. Ha! Ha! According to
all accounts the president greeted Rev.
DIR. Burchard most kindly-not to say
affectiOnately-when he called at the
White house a few days ago. II am
very glad to see you indeed, DIR. Burch-
ard; hope you are WELL" remarked
Mr.. Cleveland. That he spoke these
words with voice saturated with emo
ton goes without saying. Breathes
there man with soul SO lost to the in
stinct of gratitude as not to gaze fOndly
upon the life preserver that got him
ashore? Shall the creature not express
the hope that his creator is Every WelP'
when the creator deigns to cali upon
him? The meeting between the two
must have been an affecting spectacle.

To Form a Tariff Sheet.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA. Dec. 16. - The Nebraska
state railway commission is preparing
to take steps toward the formation of
tariff sheet to apply to all roads doing
business in Nebraska on scale CORE
spending with the rates now in vogue.
A comparative weekly statement of the
earnings of the roads during the last
week has been demanded, supposed TO
be for the purpose of forming basis on
which to commence operations. Thomas
King, the late vice president of the Bal
timore & Ohio. in an interview here to-
day, attributed the failure of that sys-
tenn to the management of The road in
attempting to extend the Philadelphia
branch through territory which the
finances of the company did not war
rant. He predicted the return of Gar
rett to the presidency at an early date.

ments have been largely overcome by the construction of the Prescott and Aarizona Central Railway from the At lantic and Pacific, and the disposition shown by both the parent and branch lines to aid in the development of the country by granting low freight rates has given q great impetus to the min ing industry, and the entire section is thriving. A sampler has been located at Prescott and does q large and increas- ing business, buying and shipping ores to the smelters at Pueblo, Denver and Socorro, while improved methods in treatment make it profitable to work ores st home which heretofore scarcely allowed margin. Prescott is so well situated as distributing point for an extensive area of good mining country, that it cannot help becoming city oi prominence. The ore veins are large and pel manent, and of sufficient grade to pay handsomely. A great many heavy investments have been made in this neighborhood within the last six months by experienced mining men, and the future of the district is assured. Not only the mineral resources arc great, but grazing and agriculture are highly profitable This portion of the Southwest IS at last receiving the atten- ton it has long merited.
